Welcome to my website dedicated to Psychotherapy and Counselling in Holborn Kensington and Ealing.

As a Psychologist and Counsellor, I provide adult and child counselling in West and Central London. I specialised in anxiety and depression with a special interest in stress at work.Therapy can be in English or in French (Psychologue en français Londres). I am a registered provider for AXA PPP, AVIVA and VITALITY

I offer a client centered compassionate and non judgmental psychological support to adults, children and adolescents for short-term counselling (12 sessions) and longer-term psychotherapy (open ended) and use a range of modern approaches depending on client needs.My approach is open, flexible and collaborative.

Have you come to the conclusion that a change is necessary, but you feel overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, with little hope of getting out of your difficulties? You might feel deep sadness and caught into the consequences of an early trauma, bereavement or choices you made in your life. You feel you cannot repress your trauma or depression feelings anymore. It might be time for you to process those negative feelings in order to be able to connect again and trust others.As a Counsellor I can help finding solutions and relieve the stress by changing your view of yourself and your situation. With the support of a Councellor , you will discover that you are not stuck and that you have options to break the cycle of depression and anxiety. During psychotherapy or counselling, you will find out that you have the capacity to make choices that will lead to your success. Along the way, you will lower your level of anxiety and depression while drawing on new resources for the future.

With my support, you could start exploring your feelings of anxiety, depression or the fear linked to trauma, the anger and sadness linked to bereavement, how they manifest and how you react to them. By looking at your difficulties and talking through them with a counsellor you can start understanding what is at stake behind your struggle and develop strategies to cope. Developing a problem solving attitude and acceptance of your strengths and weaknesses will allow you to dismantle the large problem, break it down into small steps you could deal with in a confident and efficient way.

Child Counselling Kensington Holborn Ealing

Children and adolescents face challenging events in life, like divorce or bereavement, or relationship issues. Children have their problems too and as a Psychologist in West London and Central London, I provide adapted Child counselling to answer their specific needs.You will know that your child needs help when their problems affect how well they do, feel, or act.Children express their difficulties differently than adults. It is not uncommon for children to act out emotionally or exhibit mood, sleep, and social disturbances because they are not mature enough to articulate their emotions effectively.

For Adolescent and child counselling, I will adapt my support depending on their personality and how comfortable they feel with various approaches (talking, play therapy, art therapy, sand therapy). In my counselling practice in Holborn, Kensington and Ealing, I shall often offer a mix of approaches.But whatever way we choose your child will learn by experimenting independently. I will support their ability to explore their feelings so they learn how to express themselves in an acceptable way.
